As we pass through this turbulent time, the questions of “what is worth enduring” . . . “what will endure” . . . and “where does endurance come from” . . .are worth exploring. God’s enduring love for us.
Evoke Ministries was a sponsor and participant in the “Art of Enduring” event, put on by The Limner Society.
In the time of just ONE WEEK, a dozen artists from different parts of the globe came together to create a body of work, enduring long hours, short deadlines, in the confined space of a GROUP STUDIO at the CityArts Factory in Downtown Orlando. The artwork was made available for sale by silent auction during the opening on October 15th.
Artists braved the inconveniences of having their works-in-progress exposed to each other and to passers-by, but also experienced the contagious sparks of inspiration and a depth of spirit from this vulnerable sharing of the creative process.
One day was set aside to invite the public into the studio to see the works in progress. This allows for great discussion around the techniques but also opens doors about the ‘enduring’ process; God’s enduring love for us.
Pine Street was barricaded off for musical performances. Praise and worship to Jesus Christ in the form of classical & flamenco guitar, pop/rock worship and the Evoke drum circle witnessed in the street.
Proceeds of the sales will support The Destiny Foundation – helping the working poor, Evoke Ministries, the Bezalel Gathering – supporting artists of faith; and the Limner Society. Thanks to all those who participated! All art will hang through November 15 2009.
